NEW YORK — A psychologist testified Monday that Woody Allen showed bad judgment by having an affair with his 7-year-old adopted daughter's older sister, but said she didn't know whether she would call it abuse. Jaime Inclan, a psychologist testifying in the custody fight between Allen and Mia Farrow, said almost anything goes in the ''post-modernist'' family as long as there is ''constancy,'' behavior the rest of the family can depend on and put up with. ''What happens to 'constancy' when the sister is also daddy's girlfriend?'' asked Justice Elliott Wilk of state Supreme Court, New York's trial-level court. ''The impact depends on the interpretation given to the phenomenon,'' Inclan said. He added, ''I don't think people would recommend it, but they can learn to live with it.'' Earlier, sex abuse expert Anne Meltzer, testifying for the filmmaker, said Allen should be allowed to visit the 7-year-old, Dylan.
